Understanding the Transition Timeline
The transition timeline varies based on the length of your hair, the damage it has sustained from previous chemical treatments, and the rate at which your natural hair grows. Generally, expect a transition period of 6 months to 2 years.
Phases of Transition
- Awkward Stage: This initial phase is characterized by a mix of relaxed and natural hair textures, leading to uneven curl patterns and frizz.
- Growth Phase: As your natural hair grows, it pushes out the relaxed ends, resulting in visible demarcation lines.
- Blending Phase: Gradually, the new growth blends with the remaining relaxed ends, creating a more cohesive texture.
- Natural Stage: Once all the relaxed hair is shed, you've successfully transitioned to 100% natural curls.
Essential Hair Care Routine
Adopting a consistent hair care routine is crucial to maintain healthy hair during the transition.
- Moisturize regularly: Use a deep conditioner or hair mask once or twice a week to replenish moisture.
- Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners: Avoid harsh chemicals that can strip your hair of natural oils.
- Detangle gently: Use a wide-toothed comb or a detangling brush to avoid breakage.
- Protective styling: Protect your hair from environmental damage by using protective styles like braids, twists, or buns.
- Trim split ends: Regularly trim damaged ends to prevent breakage and promote healthy hair growth.
